Well, the first-ever "Show Me Your Etsy" Photo Contest is over, and it was loads of fun! We think we had a good run for our first try at a contest (hopefully, we'll have even more entries next time). You can take a look at all of the entries here.

This fire-engine red band from Marstinia is a-ma-zing! It's made of copper and fully enameled on the interior and exterior of the ring. Rustic and elegant, all at the same time! (Red Enamel Ring, $40.00)

BookBurroBookBurro is a sweet little Firefox extension that allows you to easily compare book prices. When it "senses" that you are shopping for a book, it overlays a small panel which displays that book's price at other online bookstores like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and AbeBooks. It even checks to see if your local library carries it. We told you it was sweet.

Welcome!
